FYI...This past week I had a long chat with Ohio's legals affairs chief John Biancamano. BTW, he was at OSU during the trademark dispute. But John has no inherent allegiance to OSU as his bachelor's is from Yale and J.D. from Notre Dame. (I asked him where he earned his degrees.)
While we were chatting he accessed BobcatAttack and copied, pasted and printed the threads on OSU deviating from the settlement. He seemed serious about looking into the matter.
He also explained that both OU and OSU report to the state attorney general on legal matters and are not permitted to file suit against each other. So, John says that all such settlements now must be "political."
Thank you for this information. Very informative.
This certainly limits the University's channels to fix this problem. It seems to me that drawing the media's attention to the issue via legal action would need to be done by a 3rd party. A group of people who have an interest in protecting Ohio's name. Like, say, Ohio alumni.
